The Sydney Business Chamber has applauded the New South Wales Parliament’s decision to give Western Sydney businesses the option to trade on Boxing Day as it moves Western Sydney’s trading laws in line with Sydney City.

The Western Sydney Director of the Sydney Business Chamber, David Borger said, “This is a tremendous win for business and a win for shoppers this Christmas.

“Western Sydney Businesses can now take advantage of this key trading day and enjoy a much needed financial windfall before the New Year.

“This change to the trading laws is a cause the Chamber has championed because being allowed to trade is essentially promising jobs and business opportunities to Western Sydney.

“Western Sydney is transforming, new restaurants are moving here and the night time economy is picking up.

“Residents of Western Sydney are now are enjoying the same amenities that have been always been available to Sydney City.

“Lining up Boxing Day trading so that the same rules apply, whether your business is in Bondi or Blacktown simply makes sense”

“We commend the government for delivering on their election promise and know Western Sydney will embrace the change.
“Retailers and shoppers in Western Sydney can rejoice this Christmas knowing Boxing Day trading starts this year,” said Mr Borger.
